Splendid property!
Lovely gem in Idyllwild. The property is beautiful, well maintained, in the trees and a mile from the town and many restaurants. It has all the amenities one or a family could want and a nice restaurant onsite. The price was fair and I would definitely stay here again!

Rustic Charm
This was our first time staying at Tahquitz Pines and we were impressed. I must admit, based on the rate we pre-paid, my expectations were modest. I was happy to find an easy friendly check-in and a comfortable, well appointed room. Its woodsy and somewhat rustic, but in a nice way. We enjoyed the Peak restaurant on site as well. Will return.

Beautiful area, and very relaxing.
My husband, our dog and I enjoyed our stay. We open the door to our cabin and we were very mesmerized. Love our room very clean, comfortable, and cool. Our dog usually is very anxious in new places, but for some reason he was very peaceful and calm. The front dest was very helpful, very nice. Can't wait for our next visit.
